  • See the person, the rate and the start date before the first call.
  • Every specialist is checked before their profile goes live.
  • The first 10 business clients get €190 off their first hire and a free technical assessment.

Most companies don't lose time on the hire itself. They lose it on everything around it: writing the job post, waiting for CVs, filtering 200 of them down to 10, three interview rounds, then a notice period. Six to eight weeks pass, and the roadmap slips while the team covers the gap.

Start with the person, not the job post

On AfterWorc you don't advertise and wait. You browse professionals who are ready now. Every profile shows what you would otherwise find out in week six:

  • Skills and stack, for example Java, Spring, AWS and Terraform
  • Rate, in euros per hour or per month, with no surprises later
  • Start date: now, next week, or a date you can plan around
  • Check status: Worc-Checked or Verified, so you know someone looked before you did

Who is ready right now

This week's profiles include a Backend and DevOps engineer (€58/h, available now), a Payments Operations Lead with EMI and PSP experience (€65/h, now), a Senior Go backend engineer (€62/h, from next week), a full team of lead, two developers and QA, a Fraud and Risk Analyst (€42/h, now) and a Senior UI/UX designer (€48/h, now).

How it works

  1. Tell us the role and when you need someone to start.
  2. We send you matching profiles, usually within a day.
  3. You meet your pick on a video interview and decide.
  4. They start. One agreement and one invoice, however many specialists you add.

Founding Client offer

We're opening 10 Founding Client places. Each one gets €190 off the first hire plus a free technical assessment of the specialist they choose. When the 10 places are gone, the offer closes.
